A Suggestion for SwelIs.

The Argentine poncho is .. great in
stitution, and, if some fashionable
swell would set the style of wearing It,
it would add greatly to our comfort
and convenience. There never was

and particularly for plainsmen or
those who are much in the saddle. Ii

An OId-Time Constructing.

Constructing time in the South dur
ing slavery days was looked forward to
by the farmer and his family as one of
the big events of the year, and when
the runner came around to invite all
hands to a constructing at John
Smiths, OF Bill Jones's, it was looked
forward to by all who had been invited
the same as we look forward to the
coming of a circus. The negroes from
different plantations within five miles
of John Smiths would start to the
corn-shucking soon after they had done
their days work and housed their
stock. Their leader, who was generally
the largest man in the crowd, would
start up song, answered by all in his
party, and could be heard for miles
around. They would meet at the corn
pile, and the one that could halloo the
loudest was elected the Captain, and
would walk the compile and give out
a song until the last ear was shocked.
After the shucks had been put in a pen
the owner of the compile was carried
around the house on the shoulders of
several stalwart negroes, all hallooing
at the same time, and carried and put
at the head of the table and waited on by
those who carried him on their shout
ders. 1t was a happy time and the
jug of old corn juice played promi-
nent part in the shocking, but it has
all passed away, and the farmer who
gets his corn shocked now has to pay
well for athens (Ga.) Banner.

The Gar OF Russia.

The Car walked up the broad stone
steps, clad in the magnificent trappings
OF Russian uniform, with the steady
step OF man among men used to

pectatlon of trouble; there was not a
tremble of either hand or limb. al

The Man in the Case.

Since woman was created there has been an
awful stir
About the part she plays on earth-all blame
is laid on her.
Let any wickedness be DONE at any time OF
place,
And saints and sinners do declare. "a woman
in the easel"
Some fool to suicide inclined blows out his
little brain.
Now mark my words-a womani' every
prophet viii exclaim
Or if some fool another fool dispatches from
this life,
It's significantly mentioned, He has a pretty
wife"
If man, thief by nature, steals his employ
And goes alone to Canada, the girl was cleft
behind"
Or if he's seen attacking with woman on the
way,
''The woman in the case goes, too," the daily
papers say.
Now this thing makes US women all so miser
But for our dire existence, men would never
kill nor steal;
In fact, if Eve to Adam the Lore had never
given,
This earth had SO continued suburban sort
of heaven.
1t occurs to me, however, from another point
of view,
Had we ne'er been given Adam,we could have
If the world were only women, we could keer
it from crime,
For doesn't the ''old Adam work the mis-
chief every time?
1t was Eve who gave the apple that has
brought us all our woe;
But with no one there to take it, she could
never have done so.
Though men will kill and steal for US, because
we are so dear,
You should mind they fix our value by their
own existence here.
When you come to think it over, one conclu.
sion's very sure.
Had they never been created we would ne'I

Assaulted by Monkeys.

1t must have been a comical SIGHT. a
lot of men chased by pack of mon
keys, but this is told by Capt. Lawson in
his ''Wanderings in New Guinea"
According to his account, the mon
keys were the aggressors, but one
would like to hear their side of the
question before passing judgments:
"Whlle marching under some wallah
trees we were maliciously attacked by
large troop of monkeys, who pelted us
with the wallah nuts and uttered wild
screams of delight when they observed
that their sudden assault had been
successful. A regular volley of the
hard missiles fell about our heads and
shoulders with such force that, being
unexpected, we were smitten with dis
may and scrambled out of the way in
a very undignified manner.
Upon recovering myself / laughed
heartily at the ridiculous figure we had
cut, on which one old fellow who
seemed to be the leader of the troop
ran out on a branch that hung over
my head and deliberately spat at me
with all the gravity of human being,
q trick that | had never known a mon
key to perform before.
stepping back a few PAGES to get
better aim at him [ raised my rifle
and fired. He appeared to be killed
instantly, but sat immovable for
several seconds before his body lost its
balance and fell.
1.-The hubbub that then set in among
his companions was fearful. They
howled at the top of their voices and
seemed to become half mad with rage
They again began 10 pelt us with the
nuts, and though we shot several of
their number they refused to desist,
but followed us on our march, leapino
from tree to tree with great agility.
cat last we were glad to break into
a run in order to escape their per-
secutions, but this move was unsuc-
cessful, for the monkeys were quite as
nimble as we were. So we were COM

A Paper-Eating Girl.

There is young lady of this city
who is very much addicted to eating
paper. Every clean speck of this ar
ticle that comes in her way is immedi-
ately put into her mouth. She hap
pened to be in a counting-room the
other day, and after she had departed
the gentleman missed u check that he
had made out that morning and laid
upon his desk. 1t was sought for high
and low, but could not be found, and,
finally, as last resort, a messenger
was sent to the fair caller TO ask if she
had seen it. She returned answer as
follows: Dear Mr.. Blank: There
was nice smooth. shiny piece of pa
per in front of me in your office and l

payment of the check was stopped,

The Latest Idiocy.

Cats are the favorite pets at present,
and this caprice dates from Luchon,
where French women were carrying
little kittens about during the late sea-
son. They are now carried about in
a little bahut on the top of the hustle,
and will, it is prophesied, occupy the
inside of the big muffs that are about
to appear. The eccentric Princess
Isabeau de Beauvois has much to do
with this new notion. In her pocket
there is usually a tiny kitten, and in
her muff-carried all through the fall,
and decorated with artificial flowers
and ribbons-there is one, often more
than one, pug or pup Of some KIND,
for the accommodation of which ami
NAL it is very evident that the muif is
